How to Organize and Manage a Failure Investigation Wednesday, November 2 Instructor: Robert Errichello, GEARTECH A properly managed failure investigation can provide valuable feedback about how a component performs. It might uncover shortcomings or weakness in design, manufacture, quality control, maintenance, or operation and it can provide information for improvements that prevent future failure. In some cases, the failure investigation can assess liability and determine whether a failure was a unique event or a symptom of a wider problem. In this seminar you will learn proven techniques for organizing and managing a failure investigation that will maximize your chances of identifying the failure mode and the root cause of the failure, and help you recommend repairs or improvements to prevent future failures.

Materials Selection and Heat Treatment of Gears Thursday, November 3 8 am – 4:30 pm Presented by: AGMA and ASM
Gears, because of their unique contribution to the operation of so many machines and mechanical devices, have received special attention from the technical community for more than two millennia. New developments in gear technology, particularly from the materials and heat treatment perspectives, have improved gear performance.
This course, developed jointly by AGMA and ASM International, will provide an overview of materials selection and heat treatment of gears.
The morning will focus on gear materials selection and will include:
During the afternoon the focus will shift to heat treatment processes used to harden steel gears. Presentations will be made by industry experts on:

Fundamentals of Gear-Health Monitoring November 3, 2011 8:00 am – 12 noon
Instructors: Dr. William D. Mark, Senior Scientist in the Drivetrain Technology Center at The Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory Professor Emeritus of Acoustics Jason A. Hines, research engineer at The Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory
This session will present a physical understanding of how damage on gear teeth and gear bodies affect the vibration excitation caused by meshing gears, and how such damage can be detected by remote fixed sensors such as accelerometers.
The seminar will also present:

Risk or Reward: How to Maximize Your Return on New Opportunities ……Systems and Tools for Success Regardless of the Size of Your Shop Wednesday, November 2nd 8:00am – 12:00pm
Instructor: David Watkins, Executive V.P. & Director of International Operations, Omnex, Inc.
This program will focus on maximizing the return while minimizing the risk from a new opportunity — from concept to cash. Accomplishing this goal is a matter of having effective and disciplined processes to accurately assess the opportunity, its risks and issues of feasibility, and then to develop the process and manufacturing system using effective analytical methods and proven approaches to improvement in manufacturing process effectiveness, efficiency and control.
Seminar topics include:
